Description

KINDERGARTEN TO FIRST GRADE readers will read about how Thanksgiving is celebrated by an all-American family. The Thanksgiving the Jacks Built is intended to be read along with The Thanksgiving the Other Jacks Built. These books use the same words but different pictures to illustrate Thanksgiving celebrated by an all-American family and an alien family. Readers will discover how a change in setting can change the meanings of words, as well as to provide an across-text connection. Familiar text pattern and repetitive language support readers. Discussion questions after the reading help build interest and comprehension. Learner objectives: setting, high-frequency words.

Learning A–Z provides materials delivered online and through the iTunes Store that help children learn to read, write, and discover the wonders of science. All our materials are leveled so that children can access information at their reading level. Our leveled readers begin at level aa with labeling objects. In level A simple sentences are presented. With each level thereafter the sentences get more complex and the words become a little more difficult.

A QUICK GUIDE IN PLACING YOUR CHILD at the appropriate reading level is to understand that level aa to C provides average kindergarten instruction; D to J—first grade; K to Q—second grade; R to U—third grade; V to Z—fourth and fifth grade. The letters earliest in the alphabet match beginning of the year instruction while letters at the end of each grade range match skills at the end of that grade year.

This book is available as part of a ten-book set in the Level J Library.
